Verse 1
Through her cries for mercy
She heard their call for death
She was pleading for her very life
With every passing breath
Though she knew that she was guilty
And the price that she would pay
But mercy knelt down from the throne
And washed her guilt away

[Verse 2:]
Though the story's different
My guilt was just the same
For sin had brought it's burden
And left it's filthy stain
But in my cry for mercy
Grace came down from the throne
Telling me the price was paid
And through His blood I've been atoned

Chorus
Now I've been washed
In the blood
I've been washed in the blood of the Lamb
All my sin stains of scarlet are now white as snow
I've been washed in the blood of the Lamb

Verse 3
Sometimes in human weakness
My mind replays the past
The pain and tears of yesteryears
Bring failures rushing back
Though many times I've failed Him
And it seems I can't go on
He reminds me of His precious blood
That the stain of sin is gone

Bridge
Unworthy of His sacrifice
My life was at an end
But the Lamb of God laid down His life
So that I could live again
